Emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola[edit]

  • Flag of UNITA
    Flag of UNITA

Article(s): en:Democratic People's Republic of Angola

Request

Hello, I'm looking to see if anyone could remake the emblem used by UNITA's rival government of the Democratic People's Republic of Angola; the emblem is the same as the middle of the one on UNITA's party emblem but with the text SOCIALISMO, NEGRITUDE, DEMOCRACIA NÃO-ALINHAMENTO.
References:

Colors should be all the same as the one on the current logo of UNITA and the rooster & sun should be the same as the colors on the flag.
Thanks a million in advance if anyone takes this request :) --NorthTension (talk) 16:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I made some progress in Inkscape (not the full emblem though)

Request
Coat of arms of the Soviet Union (1936–1946).svg is the only vector file of the 1936 coat of arms of the Soviet Union. However, it's a poorly vectorized version since it's a bitmap tracing of a raster image. It's also not the most accurate to the official design as approved on May 27, 1937 (shown below). Could somebody please revectorize that image to make it a proper vector image and also an accurate representation of the official design? For reference, this file here is an accurate vector representation of the 1956 coat of arms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colohisto (talk • contribs) 00:58, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QuickQuokka: Thanks for taking this request! Just a few more things though... perhaps Washington's head could be made bigger, so that the top of it is closer to the rim of the circle, as it appears to be in the link? Also, even though I'm rather uncertain about it myself, I'm also inclined to think that the central circle from the flag in the link is meant to be light blue (albeit a much lighter shade than the modern seal). What do you think? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request
I am not entirely sure if this logo can be recreated in SVG form due to the blurs and multi-colored gradients, but I guess it's worth asking. (Note: sorry for the bad quality of the logo. Taking it from the series itself is not plausible as it's shown over a wide shot(?), and other bigger versions do not show the outer colors well. Now that I think about it I'm also not sure if the outer colors are needed, so it can be omitted if so.) --Spinixster (talk) 10:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
I just tried to simulate the blur with filters.
I do not know the font. It has a two-story "a" but a one-story "g". The font "Trebuchet MS" shows the gist, but has the wrong "g" and "M".
I only uploaded to File:Test.svg. WMF's rasterizer has too many limitations, and I do not have tracing on this machine. See archived Test.svg.
Glrx (talk) 19:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it may be Helvetica Bold or a similar font, with adjustments to the a so it resembles a @. Not sure about the smaller font at the bottom, though. I think remaking this logo in SVG would be hard, so if that's not possible, I wish for someone to override the original file with a better picture. Spinixster (talk) 02:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict) Definitely not Helvetica; note the round dot on the i, showing a Geometric influence. Avenir is closer but not quite right either. The two-storey a is quite unusual in the at-sign and may have been substituted.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 03:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC) P.S. The ft ligature is another unusual feature suggesting hand-alteration.—03:29, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The "ſt" ligature was present in all the fonts I tried. Glrx (talk) 03:34, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, the "ſt" ligature may have been obtained from another font.... Glrx (talk) 04:03, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The font is an issue. This link
only found a few fonts with a double-story atsign. Tahoma and Verdana have double-story "a" characters, but single-story atsigns.
A hack would use the Trebuchet MS atsign and Helvetica/Arial for the rest. But many users (and WMF) do not have Trebuchet MS.
A better method than trying to match the font would trace the characters and then employ the filters.

Request
Hello, I do not want to start trouble or anything but for a month now, I’ve been trying to get an emblem reverted due to its inaccuracy. However, user Fry1989 has come up with a good compromise of combining both elements from each digitalized emblem in order to resolve this dispute. I am still new to Wikipedia and don’t really know how to solve the issue. I uploaded a video where I used editing software to compare the old digitalisation of the emblem to the new digitalisation of the emblem, using book covers from published works by the Republic of Afghanistan (1973–1974). Because I am on mobile, and due to the editing app I use, if I was to combine both elements of the emblems, it could come out as low quality. What I want is for the text on the new digitalisation to be put onto the old digitalisation. That is all.
Here is the title, if you want to check it out: “Old digitalisation of the Emblem of the Republic of Afghanistan and new digitalisation compared” and it is by “BasirLegend”. Sorry for any inconvenience, it would not allow me to send the YouTube link and I don’t know where else to upload it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AfghanParatrooper19891 (talk • contribs) 13:22, 24.

You know, I am really getting very tired of this infantile behaviour. It's not a matter of what I want, it's a matter of one version being fundamentally superior in it's construction to another. Even when I try to be diplomatic about that and suggesting this option of the graphic lab, you insist on attacking me. I didn't see YOU coming up with this idea. The behaviour that you have shown in this dispute is deeply regrettable. GROW UP! Fry1989 eh? 19:53, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
“Fundamentally superior” Did you watch the video? Although I do agree that we can resolve this without expressing anger, but it’s very obvious this rendition is not superior. However, the text is way better than the original and more accurate due to the two dots in “ت” (at the end of Jamhuriyat aka Republic) at the end of the text. With the evidence presented now, as well as in the video I’ve created, we can simply end this dispute here and work towards creating a file that incorporates both works from each file. AfghanParatrooper19891 (talk) 07:19, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you're still not admitting wrongdoing but i'm the one who is being infantile?

To add to that, I have found more papers including the emblem that has been physically printed and here is my conclusion. Both emblems are inaccurate, in a way, but the old is still more accurate. There is a way we can maybe fix this issue if a new emblem is made all together?
Here’s the Afghan government book if you want to see the cover! https://www.loc.gov/resource/amedscd.2006204632_13597/?st=gallery AfghanParatrooper19891 (talk) 22:36, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nvm I have access now. Yes, it is asymmetrical but now we have a proper high quality cover that can be downloaded with 64 megabytes!

Don’t allow me to dictate what you think is right friend, but the number “۵” in the emblem does not have the line pertruding inside it. Use the text of the version that Fry1989 was in favour of as inspiration, as it is more legible and accurate. I am in favour of the text used in the current version, and I have consulted with my uncle who was an officer in the Afghan Army under the Republic of Afghanistan. He also favors the current legible text.AfghanParatrooper19891 (talk) 22:51, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am additionally in favour of the version user ReneeWrites made. AfghanParatrooper19891 (talk) 22:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SVG and split religious habits[edit]

Article(s): a lot of them!

Request
Hello. On the it.wiki's Graphics Lab we're working on converting to SVG and splitting religios habit/vestments sketches on Commons, so they can be used more easily and without scaling problems. Since it's a really long process, we would like to ask for your help taking some of that work.

More precisely, the steps are the following:

  1. Creating an SVG version of the sketches and uploading it
  2. Uploading the individual sketches on Commons

If it's possible, I would ask for coherence to make them on the style of those sketches: 1, 2, 3, since it's the one used by most of the sketches already present

Thanks a lot --Sciking (talk) 15:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please create an SVG file of the proposed flag for New Hampshire from 2023, designed by state representative Tim McGough, as seen here. It's almost the same as the current state flag (above-left), with the only differences being the addition of the motto "Live Free or Die" (in Times New Roman font) beneath the seal-and-wreath, the seal-and-wreath reduced in size to make space for the motto, and the seal itself replaced with the version provided above-right (which is similar to the one on the current flag, but not the exact same).

@Swiãtopôłk: ✓ Done, let me know what you think. If this was the actual shape of the historical flag (square hoist + attached triangle), it is very difficult to get an accurate rendering/proportions... It will look quite different from the reference drawings, which have it "blowing in the wind". Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:39, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fvasconcellos: I think it's a matter of too large letter size. I measured it myself and if the height of each letter is similar to (one star + vertical space to the next star) it will be possible to reduce the size of the text and shorten the triangle. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 14:30, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's already an AC/DC logo, but my problem with it is that it doesn't resemble such in official products due to the bolt being too far from "AC" and a little unaligned as the slash. In official material (references here and here) the bolt is sized and aligned enough to barely touch the C & D without overlapping either, and the top of the bolt is also connected with the upper-left point of the D. I'm requesting another logo with such details, basically. And just to be safe, could there be two variants of it? One in flat black and one in red and with a gradient, both transparent.
